Emery Rockets into Chip Lead with Double KO
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
On a three-way flop of Q?9?7?, Keith Murrell moved all in followed by a call from Grant Hinkle, but then Shaun Emery moved all in over the top to cover. Hinkle wasted no time making the call and the cards were tabled.
Keith Murrell: Q?J?
Grant Hinkle: Q?7?
Shaun Emery: J?10?
Hinkle was in the lead with his two-pair, but Emery had a massive straight/flush combo draw. The turn 5? didn't change anything but the 8? on the river had Emery leaping into the air as he hit the nut straight in the massive pot.
After a chip count, Murrell and Hinkle were both eliminated while Emery raked in the pot to rocket him into the chip lead with 1,370,000.
